L.A. based professional photographer and artist (painting & drawing) with a Fine Art degree from UCLA.
I am currently shooting a fine art photo book of college-age male models with the classic southern California surfer look, or teen athlete look. I will be focusing primarily on new faces/beginner models for this project.
I will offer TFCD (Trade for CD), or "free" shoots only to selected models who have the right look for my book. This is the best way for a new model to get free professional photos for his portfolio. A typical shoot with me ranges from headshots to fashion/commercial to artistic physique shots. My photos have helped many new models get signed to top agencies worldwide, including Wilhemina, Boss, Next, and Elite, among others.
➜ ABOUT NUDITY: Models on this website seem to be unusually paranoid about nudity. I do not require nudity of any model. If I ask you to model for me, please don't respond, "I DON'T DO NUDES!" Sadly, that seems to be the automatic reply from every model I contact on MM -- even though I never asked them to do nudes. I repeat, I do not require nudity from any of my models! However, if a model I'm working with wants or needs nude shots for some reason, I'm generally not opposed to shooting them.
➜ ABOUT COMMENTS & TAGS: Of course, I appreciate comments & tags. But, please make them a critique or observation about MY WORK, not how "cute", "sexy" or "hot" the model is. After all, this isn't myspace! Tell me what you like or dislike about a specific image or my work in general.
➜ HIRE ME: Ask me about my rates and availability for photo projects. Write me here or at OttoImages@aol.com
